    Fantastic … I’d forgotten about this moment. One of so many that day.
    Sting … at his peak, really.

    Sting is an artist that has an aura you have to check out. His music blows me away.

    Gosh, the 80s were his decade. He was in his prime and so hot. 🥰 Branford Marsalis on soprano saxophone.

    Amazing. Hard to believe that this is nearly 40 years ago. It feels like only yesterday that I was there with my (new) wife. Her birthday was the day before and the Live Aid tickets were my birthday present to her - and she was a massive Sting/Police fan. An unforgettable day.

      I had quite a story. I convinced my long suffering mother to rent a state of the art Nicam Stereo VCR , for just for a month. Then spent the three weeks before , not going out so I could save up for 6xE180 TDK tapes (8 quid each at the time). Then borrowed a stopwatch , so I knew when it was time to change the tapes - Really happy days looking back at it. So very glad I went to all the trouble..

    I remember watching the entire Live Aid event. I was only 25 and couldnt believe all the legendary artists that took the stage in England and the US. A great achievement by Sir Bob Geldof. Id just seen him in concert with his Boomtown Rats a year or so earlier. A bit surreal when i think about that show and so soon after creating Live Aid

    I remember, I got hold of a video recorder. I gathered as many cassettes, as I could find. And then I spend the whole time recording. By then, there was no internet, you could just see things once on television, so I tried to store the whole box like a real treasure. And then I prepared evenings for my friends showing parts of the event and trying to explain, how much this meant to me. Thx for bringing back those memories. ❤

    Wow , a day early this week!. Thank you once again for another "missing" part of Sting's Set.. One bit of trivia to note - Back in those days Sting had much more of a Geordie accent , he seems to have lost it over the years when you hear him speak today...

      @teddystacker Před 2 lety +1

      Yes , the BBC did a great job , esp when they decided to "keep the tapes" and even record some of it in Multi track. My American wife sadly got to watch the ABC broadcast , that was truly Dire with adverts cut in over the top of artists and some artists not covered at all..
